The Phillies' 13-game road win streak -- which matched a franchise record set in 1976 -- is over.
More importantly, the Phillies, who visit the Miami Marlins on Sunday to decide a three-game series, want to make sure that star DH Bryce Harper is healthy.
After the game, Harper said he was fine. X-rays were negative, although it is unlikely he will play on Sunday. They will head into Tuesday's All-Star Game in wild-card playoff position under rookie manager Skip Schumaker, who is in line for postseason awards if his team can keep up this pace. Miami's bullpen, which pitched four scoreless innings on Saturday, has been solid. Tanner Scott, for example, has set a franchise record for most strikeouts before the All-Star Game by a reliever.
Sunday's pitching matchup will feature Marlins lefty Jesus Luzardo against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola .
